Yeah, as responses go, that one's certainly underwhelming, so, yes, you could have misinterpreted the good time, or he could have been faking it just to get through the date.
On the other hand, we're talking about texting here, which is the worst mode of communication after smoke signals and carrier pigeons, so who can say for sure what he's thinking? I think it's more likely that he was in a hurry when he replied, or distracted, or driving, or on fire. Or maybe he's just not a verbose texter; a lot of guys are two-word repliers sometimes. I've had friends think I was being short via text when in reality I was changing my child's diaper or getting electroshock therapy or fending off a ninja attack. You just never know.
You will know soon enough, though, when he does or doesn't ask you out again (or if you decide to ask him out and he says yea or nay). In the meantime, don't borrow trouble--just assume everything is hunky-dory. Even if he's not into you, there's not much you can do about it, so why spend three or four days worried and second-guessing yourself? Assume it's all good until you know otherwise.
Thanks for the question.
HA! I hate texting while trying to fend off ninjas. :-D
How hard is it to type "me 2 sure"? To me that would have been a confirmation that he had a good time and wanted to do it again.
I agree completely, but some guys like to be aloof. Not a good sign, as Liz says below.
my last awesome first date that wound up leading into my current relationship my guy was scheduling the next date at the end of the first one...
Maybe your guy doesn't want to come off as too excited? I say wait and see what he does, and if you don't hear anything in a week, feel free to move on with life. Though if he's trying to play cool that doesn't bode well in my book...that's kind of gamey.
This is just me, but I would never say something like, "let's do it again soon" the night of a first date. If the guy was the one to ask me out in the first place, I would just sort of assume that he would ask me out a second time if he was interested, without me having to suggest it. There's nothing wrong with letting him know you enjoyed yourself, but I would just leave it at that next time. I would also wait until the next day, but again, that's just my preference.
I'll be the first to admit that I tend to overanalyze things, so maybe that's what I'm doing here, but from my dealings with the opposite sex, I've deduced that they usually aren't big on girls coming across as too eager. I wouldn't give up hope on this one just yet, though. He may just be an uninvolved texter, like WA said. In any case, best of luck!
I wouldn't suggest texting or calling a guy after the 1st date. If he's into you and wants to see you again he will make a plan. Men don't find available women as attractive as the ones that they need to chase. The trick is to not be too difficult to pin down for a date as men also don't want to be treated like idiots
Ouch, I'm sorry, that kind of stings. Not a good sign in my book. "No problem" is something you say when you just did someone a favor, not after a great date.... The only sure way to tell is waiting to see if he'll call you and ask you out again. Do not call him -- you've already told him you had fun, you've done enough. If he's interested he'll call.
"Assume it's all good until you know otherwise."
Awsome Cary -- I think that's my new favorote quote!
That is definitely a great way to look at it, but I prefer the other way: assume things are done-zo until you know otherwise. It leads to less dissapointment.
